5-day Intensive

Historically, monoprinting has been referred to as “the painterly method of printmaking” it is the only printmaking process intended for creating one unique, unrepeatable impression. Monoprints have always been about experimentation and breaking away from the traditional.  So if you are an artist rebel at heart this might be the place for you.

Don’t miss out on this unique and exciting opportunity to create unique prints at your own pace.  You will learn a variety of techniques that will take your work from bold to ghostly impressions.  You will be given the opportunity to adapt and develop ideas in printmaking that you can then adapt in your daily art practice.

In addition to working in traditional printmaking techniques we will explore several printmaking methods that don’t require a printing press so that you will be able to continue printing after you return to your studio.

Open to all artistic and printmaking skill levels.  Ink, tools, and many supplies are included in the materials fee.  Refer to the Materials List for additional supplies you can bring.

You will need to bring your $15 materials fee to the first class session.
